Advanced tearing propertiesThe base material of Sony print media uses a dedicated substrate that
matches the thermal specifications of our printers, and applies a special
process to improve coating properties. This prevents cutting in the machine
direction, whilst ensuring excellent cutting properties in the cross direction.
High water resistanceOur high glossy layer prevents smudging from water and fingerprints, and
increases storage stability. ¹
Minimal curlingEnabling hassle-free filing, our print media minimises curling to ensure
reliable, smooth throughput.
The quality of your printed images, now and over time, can be crucial. That quality is clearly determined by your printer. But not just your printer. Your choice of print media is equallyvital in achieving the durable, long-term quality you need. Choosing the right print media can also ensure trouble-free printing you can rely on under pressure, rather
than risking a serious problem at a critical moment. Because it’s designed to specifically match the mechanical characteristics of our medical printers, Sony print media ensures you can rely on the hassle-free delivery of high quality images – today and tomorrow.
Here’s your at-a-glance guide to the unique features that make Sony medical print media significantly superior when using our medical printers.
Layer structure of Sony thermal paper
Anti-electrostatic layerThe electrostatic energy that builds up during printing can cause sparking which destroys vital printer
components, particulary in the thermal head. Our built-in antistatic layer acts effectively against this build-up.
Head-matching performanceDesigned to optimally match our printer heads, the top coat layer of Sony print media ensures continuously
consistent printing.
